ACCUMATE 6v OR 12v BATTERY CHARGER
AccuMate PRO versatile automatic 3-stage compact battery chargers for 12V and 24V lead-acid starters and deep cycle batteries of all types.
3-Step Charging algorithm with automatic thermal adjustment of voltage settings.
- Constant current bulk charge until the voltage has risen to 14.4V at 20°C.
- 14.4V absorption stage until the charge current falls to 0.17 x full charge current.
- Float mode voltage limited at 13.7V. Should the battery being maintained at any stage require current exceeding 0.17 x full charge current the program reverts to the absorption stage. The battery can then draw current as required until this again reduces to 0.17 x full charge current whereupon the float mode will again engage.
¨ An ambient temperature sensor plugs in at the rear of the housing to vary the output voltage parameters by -4mV/°C/cell (-2.2mV/°F/cell) deviation in ambient temperature away from the 20°C norm. Unplugging this sensor sets the voltage parameters to the default (20°C) settings.
¨ The built-in cooling fan with sealed ball-bearings (rated for a minimum 5 years of continues running) ensures cool operation for enhanced service life, while an internal temperature monitor (NTC themistor) controls the output current and reduces it if necessary to avoid overheating in exceptional circumstances. These features allow compact charger dimensions of 14x16x15cm (5 1/2 feet x6 3/8 feet x6 feet high) including the handle.
¨ The easily detachable handle incorporating a cable storage reel and clamp storage can be mounted above the main housing (for carrying) or below (for wall-mounted application, by means of 2 pear-slots in the rear of the housing which engage on two screws in the wall).
¨ The standard ambient temperature sensor can be replaced by an optional plug-in 2m (6feet 6inches) long external temperature probe for taping on to the battery casing for more accurate automatic charging voltage management.
¨ Delivered with 2 detachable connection sets, one with battery clips, and the other with eyelets for permanent attachment to a batteries posts. Extra sets available. Other connection options bellow.
¨ The 2m (6feet 6inches) charging output cable can be extended using the optional special extension set (2.5m x 2 x 1.3mm 2/8ft x 16Awg) to charge batteries 4.5m (15ft) away.
¨ Electronic fuse less protections against inverse polarity short-circuit over-heating. Sparks are suppressed.
¨ Additional fuse protections provided for: eyelets connection set (protects battery against dead-shorting across thermals in case of accident) AC input; accidental disablement of the built-in cooling fan and a thermal fuse protects the transformer.
¨ 24months warranty excluding cables connectors sensors and probes.
